Description
Overview:
This is a genuine Stihl PM3 chainsaw chain for light-duty machines using a 12 inch (30 cm) guide bar. Built from high‐grade steel with reinforced drive links and low‐vibration, precision‐ground cutters, it delivers smooth, efficient cutting with reduced kickback. The chain uses a 3/8 inch low profile pitch (3/8" = 9.5 mm), a .050 inch gauge (.050" = 1.3 mm), and has 46 drive links, making it a dependable match for many compact saws, including the Stihl MS 170 and MS 180. Designed for clean cross‐cutting and controlled plunge cuts, it balances cutting speed with clean finish and operator comfort. If your bar and sprocket are specified for 3/8" LP and 1.3 mm gauge with 46 links, this chain is an appropriate replacement.
